I bought the Black Friday bundle of distress crayons because I thought they might be fun, but I haven't the foggiest what to do with them. Anyone have any suggestions?

Thank you! I have had them for while, and really didn’t know what to do with them, either!

I love them. I have many brands. I like activating them with water. Also love adding them to my art journals.

thank you. I couldn't get a crisp image through the stencil.
Another question, if I want to use them for coloring, what is the best sort of paper? I have marker paper, regular cardstock, shimmer cardstock, water color paper, probably other types

Most cardstocks will be fine, depends on how you want to use the crayons. If you plan to blend with water then go with watercolor paper.
